Chapter 24: The Demon in the Stone
Because of the black shadow, he didn't sleep well all night, Wang Qiu had dark circles under his eyes, and he had no appetite at all when he looked at breakfast, and many classmates also had such a situation, and they were very depressed for a short time.
However, the only normal ones belonged to Zhao Sencheng, Lin Sheng and Bai Shui, and the three of them ate with relish, and they couldn't see the slightest uneasiness.
Zhao Sencheng's reason was: "My brother Shui is here, what are you afraid of." ”
Lin Sheng just said silently: "In the past, because of physical reasons, I often went to the hospital, and the children who had a good time the day before would not be able to see each other the next day." ”
Bai Shui stared at the sausage stuck in the fork: "There is pepper in it." ”
Wang Qiu didn't know who to discuss, so he could only silently think about the dark shadow of last night. When I went to the toilet, I saw the supervisor talking to the owner, and the supervisor frowned: "The fever has subsided, but I haven't woken up, the medical facilities here are not enough, and the driver can only come the day after tomorrow, so I'm really worried." ”
The owner of the house was relieved: "It's so far from the foot of the mountain, it's really not safe to be alone, let alone carry a sick person." It seems to me that it is going to rain on this day, and it will not be even worse if it rains halfway down! The child's fever has subsided, it shouldn't be a big problem, the two of us have been guarding a little more in the past two days, and we will definitely be fine. ”
"I hope so......"
Wang Qiu touched the talisman on his body, and then touched the beads on his wrist: Although I don't want to cause trouble to everyone, it seems that only I, who can see the alien, can play a little role.
During the lunch break, Wang Qiu sneaked to the creek, holding the beads tightly along the way, not noticing that he was being followed.
Bai Shui looked at Wang Qiu, who secretly went to the creek, and looked at the serious and resolute face, and followed with some amusement.
Seeing the back sitting on the stone, not afraid that it was fake, Wang Qiu mustered up his courage and shouted weakly: "Hey." ”
The back turned around, it was a dark face, two round eyes, mediocre appearance, and there was no expected horror, Wang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you know what hurt my classmates?" ”
The demon sitting on the stone looked at Wang Qiu: "You can see me." ”
"How long ago was the last time humans saw it?" The youkai fell into deep thought, and like a stone statue, it didn't move.
"You go." The youkai said this, looking a little tired.
"I can't go, my classmates can't wake up right now."
The monster groaned for a long time: "That's the case...... Then you can come back in the evening. ”
"At night?"
"There is a fairy in the stream that sucks human essence, and the seal has recently been loosened, and it has caught the opportunity to come out and harm people. The seal is dying. The monster said this, looking at Wang Qiu slowly.
Wang Qiu looked at the eyes of the monster, and unexpectedly found that the eyes of the monster were the appearance of the starry sky, although it was a little terrifying, but when you looked closely, it was very magnificent: "Then who are you?" ”
"I don't know, since I was born conscious, I've been here."
"Haven't you ever left here?"
The youkai shook his head: "I can't get too far from here, I have to stay here." ”
"Why?"
The monster was silent, looked at Wang Qiu, and said in a low voice, "Why ......?"
"I don't remember." The monster shook his head slowly, then stretched out his finger and pushed Wang Qiu: "You go, it's dangerous here." ”
Wang Qiu looked around, and the looming mist began to surge: "It seems that it is too late." ”
"Don't be afraid." The monster whispered, "You go first, and come back in the evening." ”
Wang Qiu looked at the monster's big eyes, which seemed to be filled with a galaxy.
Wang Qiu went back in a daze, and then fell asleep, in his dream was a brilliant galaxy, a small stream flowing gently, and a round stone in the night, emitting a faint light......
I always feel empty when I wake up.
Wang Qiu looked at the sky outside and it was still early, because of the accident of falling into the water, the class guide tested the emotions of the students, and was not in class, and all of them were changed to self-study. Stared at by the squad leader Li Xue, because of Li Xue's relationship, Wang Qiu was able to sleep lazy.
Wang Qiu had something in his heart, so he kept being absent-minded, looking out of the window from time to time, there was no back by the stream, and he always felt a little worried: "If that black shadow is not him, what will it be?" ”
"Brother Shui, who have you been looking at?" Zhao Sencheng leaned in front of Bai Shui's eyes: "This sight, Wang Qiu?" ”
Bai Shui nodded, calmly so that Zhao Sencheng didn't know what to say, and only held back a few words for a long time: "That's good, it's good." ”
"Well, I'm still a little concerned." Bai Shui said, continuing to look at Wang Qiu with one hand on his cheek.
Zhao Sencheng's eyes widened: "This, is this the breath of love?" ”
At night, there are insects everywhere, it seems that the surroundings are very quiet, Wang Qiu came to the stream as promised, and before he got closer, he saw the original shallow stream, overflowing a lot, and in front of him was a large stream of bright water under the night sky, no, obviously the one in front of him was called 'lake'.
The lake is very calm, reflecting the stars in the sky, I don't know how to describe the beauty in front of me, the sky and the water are full of stars, dreamy.
"Hey~" Wang Qiu shouted quietly, and the surroundings were quiet, and he couldn't even hear the sound of insects.
The black-faced youkai leaned out of the water and said, "Here." ”
"What is this?"
"Eat it and you'll wake up."
"Thank you." Wang Qiu took the blue point of light handed over by the black-faced monster, and he couldn't see what was wrapped inside.
"You go." The monster drove Wang Qiu away again.
Wang Qiu originally wanted to hurry back, but when he looked at the monster that looked very thin and dim under the starlight, he hesitated a little: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
"Huh?"
"You don't seem to be doing well." The monster's originally thick body seems to be a little thin at the moment, faintly transparent.
The monster tilted his head and made a sudden realization, with a hint of lightness in his tone: "Ah~ What a careful child~"
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Oh?" The monster looked at Wang Qiu curiously: "What a strange child." ”
Wang Qiu raised the blue point of light in his hand and said seriously: "You helped me, so I will also help you." ”
"So, if you can, please help me inquire about someone." Recently, I regained some of my memories, and the youkai said slowly, "I was originally a pebble washed by the current, and I was collected by the monks nearby to suppress the fish spirit used to suppress this place, and because I was endowed with mana, I was born from the stone soon after. Every once in a while, the monk would come to the stream to recite sutras, but suddenly one day he stopped coming. ”
Wang Qiu listened to the stone demon's brief speech, and he also understood in his heart that the monk was no longer in this world.
The monster sighed: "That human is probably gone, because I have been endowed with mana, and gradually I have no strength to support the seal, hurting your friend, I'm sorry, this is my dereliction of duty." "Since its birth, it has been burdened with the mission of sealing the fish essence, and I have never dared to forget it for a day.
